King Abdullah of Jordan to Visit Washington
Statement by the Press Secretary
President Bush will welcome King Abdullah of Jordan to Washington for a working visit on September 28. The United States and Jordan share many vital interests in the Middle East. Jordan is a strong partner of the United States in combating terrorism, as well as in the pursuit of regional peace. The President looks forward to discussing with King Abdullah ways to deepen our cooperation against terrorism.
The two leaders also will discuss the
importance of promoting peace and stability in the Middle East,
including by encouraging Israeli and Palestinian efforts to end
violence and return to dialogue.
This will be the King's second visit to
the White House this year; he met with the President previously on
April 10.
